About the Chicken Smoothie team

I started up this website in early 2008 with just a little HTML knowledge and digital drawing skills to get things started. Nick (my brother) soon joined the site and his coding skills gave us the trading and adoption system, along with many other upgrades. A lot of the pets we use today are still based on my original lineart drawings from '08 and '09, but we have added more variety with our ever-growing artist team :) I employ many people nowadays to help put out the monthly pet designs, but I'm still around to control the site direction and keep things running smoothly.

I'm the software developer, database architect, and server administrator behind Chicken Smoothie. I'm the one who builds the stuff that powers our website and the forum. I answer our support email address and handle payments and site privacy. I also maintain our cheating detection system to keep the game fair for everybody. Occasionally I draw some pets too :).

I joined CS at a very early stage and soon became a Global Moderator. I worked my way up to be an Admin Assistant until I lastly joined Tess and Nick in their ranks. I am mostly in charge of solving trade disputes but I still fulfill tasks assigned to my former titles sometimes. I also do work behind the scenes and occasionally you will find some pets or items designed by me.

For years my life was pointe shoes and pirouettes, but now I just live on top of a mountain and never come down. I miss lightning bugs when the stars come out and use stolen moments to write my own fantasy. My wife (and partner of nine years) and I have two adorable feline companions: Josie the tabby and Luna the Scottish fold. I'm an introvert who can have a hard time approaching people first but my PMs are always open, whether it be business or social!

Hello from South Africa! I'm Verdana. I've been around CS since 2009, and it's my job to make sure CS stays fair, and fun (but mostly I help you guys get back into your accounts). I am an archaeologist in training, and when I am not in the field, I run an escape room. I am a passionate horse-rider, debater and I love to teach. I have two dogs, a very naughty cat, and I am raising a foal. Feel free to drop me a PM any time you need a hand!

I'm a British university student currently pursuing a degree in Theology and Religious Studies. My favourite activities for when I want to procrastinate on an essay include reading, rowing, and watching countless films/TV shows. At home we have three lovely felines who I adore and miss greatly during term-time. My inbox is always open for questions/concerns or friendly chatter!

I am a college girl in her early twenties, proudly studying History and English in University. I also have a minor in American Studies, and most of my research particularly hits on Native American issues and Renaissance Literature. I hope to translate all of this into being an attorney. I am an avid equestrian, and a huge dog-lover. I have a corgi at home, as well as an Australian cattle dog/hound mix. I do a lot of reading and writing in my spare time, and I currently work as a bookseller in a bookstore. I also serve as a captain of my universities Mock Trial Team, and I have brought home multiple awards within Model UN, so I am very much so an unashamed nerd. As well, I am a very proud ginger! I am always up for a chat, so feel free to reach out to me if you need anything or are just looking for conversation!

I'm an American audio producer who tends to an inherited love of the arts. I am gender-fluid and partially colorblind, and addicted to classic rock, collecting actual rocks, cars, Supernatural, video games, and learning (especially about animals). c:
I have an open-door policy, which means you're free to contact me and chat, but please refrain from typing in blue!

Greetings friends, I hail from Australia and am fortunate enough to reside on the traditional land of the Kaurna people. Kaurna miyurna, Kaurna yarta, ngadlu tampinthi. I'm a second generation Polish (Cześć, jak się masz?) individual who is owned by three Miniature Pinscher boys; Remy, Jacques and Étienne.

Would you like to know more? Please contact me at your earliest convenience! On a more serious note, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns - my inbox is always open.

Greetings from Australia! I'm Gatoh, chocolate enthusiast and tea connoisseur. I like to spend my time writing poetry, plotting emotional trauma for my characters, playing video games, and trying to stop my three precious ragdolls from drinking out of my water glass. Feel free to contact with me any questions of concerns you might have, or even if you just fancy a chat :3

A lame dude from Finland who's constantly rambling about superheroes or generally being nerdy. I'm currently studying programming and will likely gain expertise in software engineering or something to do with robots, who knows. Roleplaying is my favorite hobby right before playing video games, so you may see me around the RP boards literally all the time.

My inbox is always open if you require my assistance or if you'd just prefer a casual chat! I can speak Finnish, Swedish and English, and I understand Norwegian and Danish thanks to my Swede roots.

Proud mama of two young kids, I spend the majority of my day caring for my daughter and her new baby brother. I try to be approachable, but I prefer to keep my PMs open only to emergencies and friendly conversation.

Ahoy, Nadine here! I'm a young college gal seeking a degree in the arts. Since I was young, I've always had a fascination with so many things, dabbling in everything I could. These days I'm commonly found hopelessly lost in my writing or art, reading a good book, or studying Japanese in my free time. I promise I don't bite, if you have any questions or need anything at all, my door is always open.

Hey there! As you can guess from my avatar, I'm an avid bunny lover and plan to once again own some little fluffbutts again as soon as possible. My other interests are reading a lot, trying to do some beginners pixel art or mini-hoarding many awesome CS pets. (I might have a tiny problem when it comes to hoards. But just a tiny one!) Of course you can find me in many discussion threads as I like to communicate with others! ^w^

I'm a young woman from New Jersey, USA. Outside of CS, I love to pass the time by listening to music, watching TV, reading, taking long walks, and cuddling with my cats and dog. I'm shamelessly obsessed with Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Doctor Who, and My Little Pony, and my other passions include language, animals, history, and just learning stuff in general. I am also an amateur conlanger.

I'm always here if you need help with anything on CS or in general, or if you just want to chat sometime! Absolutely no need to be shy. c: Besides English, I can also speak German, and I'm beginning to learn Russian.

P.S. - Although I do love musicals and history and musicals about history ... No, my name was not meant to be a reference to Hamilton. So sorry. :P I get that question quite a bit, haha, but actually I had been using this name for a little while already by the time Hamilton came about, originally for an OC and then later as my username. ^^

I'm a CS veteran who has been around since mid-2008, and I consider this place my Internet home. I'm an introverted college student majoring in biology, and I'd love to work with animals or study animal genetics and behavior. In my free time I enjoy watching anime, playing League of Legends, taking pictures, cosplaying, making Perlers and kandi, spending time with my friends and family (and pets), and going on outdoor adventures. On CS, I typically hang around Chicken Smoothie Discussion to talk about the monthly outcomes, and I'd love to have a complete collection someday!

I am a mother to two of the best little girls, es.tea and pea.ell (CS usernames), and pregnant with another little girl! I share a loving home in Ohio with my best friend, my soulmate, everything I've ever wanted or looked for in a partner, Josh ♡. I am the fur-mommy to a brat of a cat...Momma, who is the most spoiled and beloved kibber cat on the planet! I have an obsession with zombies and zombie apocalypse theories/survival strategies. Kawaii from the womb to the tomb. Small birb, full of anxiety, use tiny voices. I love drawing, animals, and a multitude of other things that if I wrote them all down you'd need a longer blurb. Please do not be fearful about PMing me! I will gladly help you (if I can) or find you the help that you need. ♡

Greetings! Do sit down and join me for a spot of tea while I regale about myself. I'm British, born and bred. I've been working on CS since 2008 and was originally a site moderator. I changed to an artist sometime around 2010 because I was making a loooot of items for the site. My work on site now mainly consists of creating various items for pet dressup, I do so love to see fashionable dressups! I mostly lurk around the forums and clean up a little here and there, I also do not mind a casual chat, so feel free to pop over for a chat but bring some cake, alright?

Yo! I'm Irisid, a teenage dude living in the south of England! Right now I'm aiming for a media diploma with hopes of being a post-production video editor. On CS you'll probably spot me hanging out in the help, clubs and coding sections, or making new signatures. When I'm not poking around or studying, I'm probably editing graphics or videos, playing with my budgie Basil, or hanging out (usually playing video games or wreaking havoc in town) with my friends.

I'm a laid back guy who spends a lot of his time either playing cello or chatting and helping out here on CS. I'm from the midwest US and work as a middle school teacher in a big city not too far from my small hometown. I've got two awesome dogs back at my parents' place and two crazy cats at home with my fiancé. My favorite pet on CS is the marionette dog - hence my avatar - and I'm always on the hunt for more to add to my hoard. I'm generally a pretty laid back person and I absolutely love meeting new people - random PMs make my day!

Hello everyone! I'm a female university student. I currently reside in the Western portion of the United States and tend to travel to various places outside of the United States.

I am a female pursuing a Criminal Justice degree, hoping to become a prosecuting attorney! I live in the midwestern US where the weather is anything but predictable. I love the Indiana Hoosiers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and crime shows are my favorite genre! When I'm not watching Bones or writing about my original characters, I'm playing with my chiweenie pup Bosworth or browsing the CS forums. I'd like to think that I'm pretty approachable! I mainly focus on running the GHAA and welcoming newbies to the forums, but I'm happy to answer your questions or become your friend! Don't be afraid to send a message my way!

Hello! I'm a teenager living on the west coast of the United States. I own four dogs and two horses, and I ride hunter-jumpers. I'm very interested in space and computer programming and hope to one day pursue a career related to either of these topics. I enjoy playing quite a few video games, including Pokémon, Overwatch, The Legend of Zelda, and classic arcade games like Pac Man and Galaga.

If you have any questions, or just want to chat, feel free to send me a PM! :)

Hey. I'm an adult living in Germany, currently studying for a B.Ed in English and Geography. I tend to get very enthusiastic about fiction, and spend much of my free time writing stories about quarrelsome magicians and talking pigeons. When I'm not doing that you will probably find me on here, or playing video games.

I mostly frequent the Introductions board and CS Chat, but also like to hang out on the Adults Discussion and International boards sometimes. Perhaps we'll see each other around!
